i can't travel light. i see to it that all things i need are packed. i don't want to be just contented with what is just available. i make sure that i am comfortable with everything so i bring almost everything. i usually have two big bags and an extra small bag for my vanities like small tubes or bottles of toothpaste, shampoo, alcohol, lotion, cologne and mouthwash. i also don't forget to bring body soap and feminine wash.all are in small packages. of course, my camera and cellphone should be with me. i am fond of texting and taking pictures as well while on the road since i don't like to drive that far. how about you?

I am pretty easy when traveling. However long I will be gone I bring just enough clothes for that and a nice outfit foir dinners out. I bring my hairdryer as some in the hotel being so small it takes awhile to dry. Always bring a sweater, and pair of long pant jammies in case the air conditioning is cool in the hotels. Other than that, I bring my shampoo, bath soap, necessary items of personal use. Bring my netbook, knitting, my cross stitch and a book. Actually don't bring as much as I it seems. My husband and I can pack a suitcase together so we only have one bag plus my craft bag. Not to bad for traveling.

I try to travel light especially if we need to go somewhere far. But it really depends on the place. I remember going on a hike and we were told to carry as little things as possible since we would be hiking for hours with our backpacks on our backs. I seemed to have overpacked with unnecessary things and I learned from my mistakes. Although when I go to the beach or travel somewhere else, I try to count the number of things I might need especially with clothes. After which, I try to add two more for each type of clothing just for the purpose of not having to run out of clothes to wear if worse comes to worst. Like you, I bring some of my vanity stuff and other toiletries 'cause they're actually necessities. Phones and my camera is always with me as well and I could go travel without a hand sanitizer and loads of pocket tissues.

I am not a big fan of traveling , got bored out of it somehow ..but if I must do it , I'll always go light. I have this mindset like I can buy everything in that place. Except for real basic necessities though like toothbrush and everything. But clothes , shoes and all that ... I think I can always buy there whenever I want. Travel light is the keyword for me , whenever. One bag is enough for me..

If I won't stay for a longer time I usually travel light.I just see to it that I have my documents, money, toiletries and some clothes for occasions since I can buy some casuals clothings just in case.

I travel light mainly because I don't want to keep track of lots of stuff especially when I travel abroad. Of course there are a lot of things that I want to bring but I have to stop and pick only the essentials. passport, money, enough clothing, toiletry, laptop, cellphone, camera. I don't like having to search and wait for my bags at the conveyor belt at the airport so I try to pack for just 2 bags.

I have to take three passports, money, my travel tickets, my travel insurance details and my rail pass. I must take my travel guide book with me and important information for my trip with me. The most important thing I take are my disabled son's catheters. On my last trip we thought our hold luggage had been lost and what we had in our hand luggage wasn't right. Luckily our luggage got sent on 24 hours after we arrived but three items were missing. I take my clothing and my children's clothing suitable for the climate we are going to. I take my toothpaste, toothbrush, deodrant, contact lenses, a small mirror, a comb and sun cream. I take my digital camera, memory cards and batteries. I take some diapers and baby wipes. I always have to buy more diapers where I am staying. I take some vegan snacks and soya formula for my children.

I am like you. I always bring everything that I can think of is important during travelling. My last travel was only for one night and one day so I only have one bag that is really very full. I had all my vanities in a small bag that I got to fit in my bigger bag. I hate having to bring so many things because I am small and sometime travelling in a bus with full of passengers is very hard to get hold of the things so I make sure to fit everything in a bag. I also have my two cellphones with me and a camera. I don't like taking pictures while in the bus because I easily feel dizzy. But I do take pictures once I get down the bus. I bring with me some medicines as well, for headache, diarrhea and dizziness so I won't be worrying to find any store that sells these medicines especially when I am in the province where it would be hard to see a pharmacy. I make sure that these small illnesses will not ruin my travel.

When i travel, i like to have basically enough clothes, my cellphone, my wallet, and my ipod to keep me entertained. hotels always have toothpaste, toothbrushes, body wash, shampoo, etc. so i never bring those but i might bring deodorant, depending where i go.

I can travel light but most of the time I like to bring a lot of things so I would feel comfortable when traveling. My vanity kit is one of the most important things that I have to bring. I also don't forget my wallet and cellphones.
